• Abstract summary: We propose ImLiDAR, a new 3OD paradigm to narrow the cross-sensor discrepancies by progressively fusing the multi-scale features of camera Images and LiDAR point clouds. First, we propose a cross-sensor dynamic message propagation module to combine the best of the multi-scale image and point features. Second, we raise a direct set prediction problem that allows designing an effective set-based detector.

• Abstract: LiDAR and camera, as two different sensors, supply geometric (point clouds) and semantic (RGB images) information of 3D scenes. However, it is still challenging for existing methods to fuse data from the two cross sensors, making them complementary for quality 3D object detection (3OD). We propose ImLiDAR, a new 3OD paradigm to narrow the cross-sensor discrepancies by progressively fusing the multi-scale features of camera Images and LiDAR point clouds. ImLiDAR enables to provide the detection head with cross-sensor yet robustly fused features. To achieve this, two core designs exist in ImLiDAR. First, we propose a cross-sensor dynamic message propagation module to combine the best of the multi-scale image and point features. Second, we raise a direct set prediction problem that allows designing an effective set-based detector to tackle the inconsistency of the classification and localization confidences, and the sensitivity of hand-tuned hyperparameters. Besides, the novel set-based detector can be detachable and easily integrated into various detection networks. Comparisons on both the KITTI and SUN-RGBD datasets show clear visual and numerical improvements of our ImLiDAR over twenty-three state-of-the-art 3OD methods.

  Existing 3D detectors significantly improve the accuracy by adopting a two-stage paradigm.

We propose a novel multi-modality two-stage approach named FusionRCNN, which effectively and efficiently fuses point clouds and camera images in the Regions of Interest(RoI) FusionRCNN significantly improves the strong SECOND baseline by 6.14% mAP on baseline, and outperforms competing two-stage approaches.

  Pseudo-LiDAR (PL) has led to a drastic reduction in the accuracy gap between methods based on LiDAR sensors and those based on cheap stereo cameras.

We introduce a new framework based on differentiable Change of Representation (CoR) modules that allow the entire PL pipeline to be trained end-to-end.
